   Put on more clothes. Artificial heat is stiffling, dries out the air and costs too much.

      I generally keep the home around 66 degrees.  A friend keeps it a lot warmer, as she cares for her aged father.

   What about a third option?
   3) Move somewhere where I have no furnace, few windows, and even fewer pieces of clothing.

   Turn up the heat. My house is always at 70 degrees. Good for shorts, pants, anything you want to wear.

      70 sure is a good temperature for that.  It could get away with doing that at 68.

      Not really. Anything under 70 and I start shivering. Lived in Florida for 11 years.

      I find that I sleep better in a cooler room.

   We keep the thermostat at 67 degrees, but let it go down to 62 at night. It comes back on about 6 AM. It is a little cool in the house here in the damp Northwest, but my wife, who works from home, uses a little economical space heater by her desk and we wear warm clothing.

      I keep the thermostat at 66, but I think I'll begin keeping it just a bit cooler at night.

   I pay the bills.
   
   The bills are high.
   
   It doesn't get that cold in Texas.
   
   I put on a sweater and slippers.  Heating the house is stifling.

      Exactly, Kate.  Dry heat gives me nosebleeds.

   I would rather turn up the heat but I sometimes wear more clothing for practical monetary reasons.

      I understand that.  It is certainly more costly to do what is easiest.
